Only if you look at art in a vacuum

Art isn't just the creative output, its the culture that made it and what comes with that. In this case, the business decisions of Paradox directly effected the art

You should totally ignore internet comments and enjoy games but dont dismiss what shapes the art

Sorry so much of my posting has been rally against AI Slop, but its trash and its taking jobs away from games industry friends

Arc Raiders isn't even that good an extraction shooter, its mid at best, they just haven't played anything better
incredible that for big companies, this is gonna be considered the 'uncompromising take'

So thats CoD, Arc Raiders and The Alters in for games that 'Used AI Slop But Dont Think We'd Notice or Care'
Call of Duty isn't even hiding the fact that loads of its calling cards and other unlockables are AI generated this year.

For one of the biggest video game franchises in the world this is pretty disgusting...

I won't lie - I think this is rad as hell and I kinda want to jump in a game with the folks putting it together.

Concord was not a, uh... good... development process... but the game and the team deserved better than how Sony treated 'em. It was fun, and there was so much potential, but alas...

No fancy picture, just me about to get into the possibly wild game news today, then flex with a cool indie game you've never heard of:

We asked @willovergard.bsky.social: What made you join The Game Club? 🎮🤔

"I heard that @robmanuel.bsky.social was selecting the games and I had to join. Knowing Rob is picking the games is such a huge mark of quality."

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

I'm with Mike on this one

Not saying Geoff is a scumbag, but he's been a mercenary since day 1 and y'all seem shocked that he's putting money before principles?

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

So much love to Eurogamer

Ira been heartbreaking see industry friends praise this game as it actively works to take away their jobs
For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.
